What is your favourite thing to cook, or what are you best at cooking?
I love doing a roast dinner with all the trimmings, including home-made gravy and home-made stuffing. And I like to think I'm pretty good at making soups.

I enjoy doing Sunday roast too - OH loves cooking, but he doesn't like baking, but I do. My faves are Victoria Sandwich, scones served with clotted cream and strawb jam, and cream horns - to name just a few things ;D

I cheat with Victoria Sandwich and use my food processor, using 4 eggs and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. ;D

I've a vegetarian friend who says that the only thing that could possibly tempt him back to eating meat is the smell of bacon cooking!!! ;D

I can do the whole Indian dinner party thing but it takes all day and I don't fancy it come the evening.
Speciality is Vindaloo - but I don't make it too hot and it is very, very tasty. Unusual because you have to cook the onions until they are black and then blend with spices and vinegar - it works though.

I feel like that about xmas dinner Mick takes all day, then I'm not in the mood for it, as if the constant cooking smells have convinced me I have already eaten it.  You could cook it one day, freeze it, and eat it on another occasion though although it might not be the same, |

I have a bit of a thing about food which is over fussy. I get VERY grumpy if I watch Masterchef! Consequently I like fairly plain food - with good ingredients and not a lot else! And not boiled to bits .....and not lots of little piddling bits and pieces either! I like making pizzas though with home made herby tomato sauce and olives. Yum!

I love Olives, I eat them on their own as no-one else in the house can stand the sight of them, the children particularly dislike the ones stuffed with pimentos they say they look like eyeballs  |

Yum! talking of piddly faffy food...Robbie Coltraine was being interviewed a few years back and he was talking about visiting terribly posh restaurants...he said he looked down at his meal and said 'Is that a salad? or did somebody sneeze on the plate?' EW! ;D |

Robbie Coltrane is a nice bloke isn't he? Not skinny either - which makes a change! He is the perfect Hagrid too.
I've just had SUCH a nice meal with my beloved - pizza and chips (all home made) with coleslaw and washed down by a glass of cider and listening to "Life's a long song" by Jethro Tull. Nothing very special but we enjoyed it!

I like making Italian meals.
Tomato and mozarella salad, followed by Lasagne, garlic bread and salad. Sometimes traditional lasagne, otherwise chicken and brocolli. Followed by Chocolate tart with raspberries and mascaponi.
I like doing 'posh' BBQ's too. Not just burgers and sausages, which I dont really like too much. Things like tuna steak, beef steak, ribs, bacon wrapped round cherry tomatoes on sticks, halluomi cheese, marinated chicken..........just to name a few.

Mmmmm I just LURVE hallumi! I like a pukka BBQ too, rather than burgers and bangers, but sometimes we have to cater for sprog too!  I love the sound of bacon wrapped around cherry tomatoes - I must give that a go. We usually wrap bacon around bananas! |
